Hopefully, it will be visible for most if not all of the championship game to be played there in, you know, early February.

There’s no word on what happened with the old field. If Aaron Hernandez jerseys are getting four figures on eBay, the patch on which the butt fumble occurred could be worth a hell of a lot more than that.

You say it is the worst “new” stadium, but I don’t know if I agree. It is the most expensive stadium ever built. It was mandated that the stadium construction must use around 40,000 tons of recycled steel, recycle 20,000 tons of steel from Giants Stadium, and install seating made from recycled plastic and scrap iron. You are mandated to use recycled materials and it still cost 1.6 billion? Really? Factor in the PSL fees, the $20 parking fee, and the cost of the tickets, and that is a pretty hefty burden on the ticket holders. Metlife stadium cost close to 1/3 of a billion more than the Cowboys stadium, and the Cowboys stadium is much nicer, IMO, has 20,000 more seats, and has that awesome jumbotron.

And all you heard from the haters and the press was how Cowboy stadium was a symbol of Jones’ greed and gluttony (even though it was the taxpayers of Arlington who approved the building of the stadium). This was the same for the taxpayers with regards to Metlife stadium. Funny, I didn’t hear the press or the haters bashing the Mara’s or Woody Johnson for this ridiculously expensive stadium that has no roof or pricey jumbotron.

the reason for $ discrepancy is that north jersey is as expensive as anywhere in the usa. plus the fact nj is a union state which had to use union employees to build the stadium. texas used illegals to build much of their stadium. while this may annoy people to read, it is the truth. so accept it, deal with reality, and move on.

To the people saying the Metlife superbowl will be a disaster because of the cold…..ITS FOOTBALL! buy a jacket! Its not like you can afford to go to the game anyway, so why do you care?! enjoy the game as it was meant to be, NOT in a dome and in the elements.

As a Jets fan I hate it – the stadium is ugly gray and boring – but as far as playing the superbowl in cold weather – gimme a break they play the playoff games right before in the same if not worse weather
